Brumbies have spot for Pocock and a marquee international

THE ACT Brumbies are free to scour world rugby for a potential recruit, if they choose, after Jake White confirmed Henry Speight would not be considered a foreign player when the Super Rugby season begins next year.

Speight had filled one of the Brumbies' two available foreign player contracts for the past two seasons.

However, with next year to be his third in Australia, Speight will be eligible to be selected for the Wallabies and White will be able to find another international player if required.
